UAE Special 95 petrol rises nearly 16% from October 1. Review running costs, Kazakhstan’s personal-import passport rule, and fresh ORA Good Cat and iCAR V27 quotes.
China Auto Export Daily — September 30, 2026
The October 1 UAE petrol increase changes the ownership-cost calculation. In Kazakhstan, recently amended vehicle-passport rules put some older used-car orders at risk. Here is what matters for your next customer conversation.
UAE: a higher fuel bill gives efficiency a stronger sales case
Announced on September 30, October’s UAE fuel prices take effect October 1. Special 95 rises from AED 3.69 to AED 4.28 per litre—an increase of nearly 16%. Diesel rises from AED 4.30 to AED 4.80. Today’s WAM report via Sharjah 24 · September comparison and effective date
Make the change tangible: a customer driving 2,000 km a month at 8 L/100 km would spend AED 94.40 more each month on Special 95 at October’s rate. This is an illustration, with mileage and consumption held constant.
Dealer move: put monthly running costs beside the purchase price. For high-mileage buyers, compare a fuel-efficient petrol car with a suitable hybrid; for EV or plug-in buyers, ask about charging access and tariffs. The rise strengthens the case for that comparison; it does not yet prove a shift in vehicle sales.
Kazakhstan: check the five-year rule before quoting older used cars
A rule effective September 26, covered by local media on September 29, requires qualifying personal-use vehicles imported by individuals from EAEU countries or third countries to be no more than five years old from their date of manufacture to receive an electronic vehicle passport. It is contained in Order No. 474, signed September 23. Official rule, paragraph 5-1 · September 29 coverage
Dealer move: if an order relies on this personal-import route, check the production date and passport eligibility with the local clearance partner before accepting a deposit or arranging shipment. Prepare a newer-stock alternative for affected buyers. The provision concerns this passport route; it should not be read as a blanket ban on every commercial import of an older car.
China: September’s inventory survey gives you a reason to reprice stock
CADA’s September 30 report puts the inventory warning index at 63.2%, up 0.9 percentage points month on month, with dealers reporting more ageing stock. Ask suppliers for fresh offers by production month and trim, including any vehicle-package conditions. Actual savings still depend on the written offer. CADA report
ORA Good Cat: RMB 69,800 opens a new entry point
The 2027 ORA Good Cat, launched on September 29, starts at RMB 69,800 in China. The key detail is the new 335 km entry version. The 430 km Luxury version is listed at RMB 85,800; both range figures use China’s CLTC test cycle. Official launch · Version price table
Dealer takeaway: the lower entry price gives budget-focused EV buyers another version to compare. It is not evidence that the 430 km car now costs RMB 69,800. When discussing new or older stock, keep the battery-range version on the quotation so the customer knows what the price buys.
iCAR V27: the new 300 km version changes the comparison
The iCAR V27 long-range version launched on September 30, with two AWD variants priced at RMB 189,800 and RMB 203,800 in China. The range-extender SUV uses a 51.2 kWh battery and advertises 300 km of electric range. September 30 launch report
Dealer takeaway: if a customer is asking about the new long-range V27, update the quote’s battery version and specification. An offer for existing stock should not be presented as the newly launched version. Request separate prices and availability for each before choosing which fits the customer’s budget.
The two models above are China quote-watch items; they are not confirmed UAE or Kazakhstan import recommendations. China list prices are not export or landed quotations. Check destination approval, stock availability and local support for the actual vehicle.
